TENNESSEE GAINS
MOST ADVANTAGES
IN PARK PROGRAM
(Continued from Page One.)
reason, according to those in a posi
tion to know both in Eastern Ten
nessee and Western North Carolina,
is that the Tennessee Park Commis
sion, of which Colonel David Chap
man, of Knoxville, is chairman, has
offered much better cooperation to
the Federal government and the Na
tional Park Service, than has the
North Carolina Park Commission, of
which Mark Squires, of Lenior, is
chairman. The Tennessee Park Com
mission has offered the government
and its officials cooperation in every
4ay possible, while it is no secret that
aj number of the government officials
connected with the park service and
the Department of the Interior, have
not been particularly pleased at the
dealings they have had with the North
Carolina Park Commission and that
they make no bones of the fact that
they much prefer to deal with Colonel
Chapman and the Tennessee commis
sion. Another factor that entered into
the matter for a while was the evident
effort on the part of Asheville and
Buncombe county to “hog” the Smoky
Mountains National Park, to insist
that it be made the entrance to the
park and to become the self-appointed
spokesmen for the ten or I* other
towns much nearer to the park area.
For the park entrance on the North
Carolina side is almost JOO miles west
of Asheville, while Sylva, Bryson City
and Andrews are on the very edge of
the park, Bryson City being nearer
it than any of the others.
Asheville has at last awakened to
the error of its way and is actively,
if not frantically, inviting the co
operation of all the other cities ariS
towns in western North Carolina to
combine with it in seeking to bring
whatever influence it can bring to
bear upon the National Park Service
for improvements on the North Caro
lina side. During the past two weeks,
meetings have been held in
and throughout Westreo NortlvCaro
lina in the interest of developing a
more whole-hearted interes* in the
park. But those most interested in
this frankly admit that they started
this movement about two years too
late.
“There ts no doubt that Tennessee
got the jump on North Carolina and
that there is little or no chance for
this State to get In a position to win
the favors from the park service and
Department of the Interior that Ten
nessee has already won,” a man fa
miliar with the entire national park
problem told this correspond in Ashe
ville last week. “The officials from
Washington have undoubtedly receiv
ed more consideration and better
treatment from the hands of the Ten
nessee commission than from the
North Carolina commission—every
body here knows that —and naturally
they are going to get more favors and
more consideration. There was a time
when North Carolina had as good a
chance as Tennessee to get as much
as Tennessee —but that chance seems
gone now.”
Some attach significance to the fact
that eastern Tennessee ts Republican
and hence has received more consid
eration in Washington.

Commissioners adjourned to meet
again at the call of the chairman to

It was said Monday morning after

Special Committee Proposes
27 Percent Cut From

, Louisburg, Aug. 18. —A 27 per cent
reduction In the general county budget
estimate for Franklin county was re
quested here today at a joint meeting
of the board of commissioners and a
special committee who presented a
proposed budget in detail. Every sec
tion of the present budget estimate
was thereby reduced or abolished en
tirely except for the poor relief, moth
ers’ aid, indigent pupil, annual audit,
and emergency fund with the crea
tion of a new medical department,
department and telephone de
partment. No proposal was offered
upon the items of debt service or edu
cational requirements, pending of
ficial reports not yet filed and in some
cases reported to be withdrawn. At
the conclusion of the proposed budget,
signed by members of the special
committee and submitted to the board
of commissioners, was noted: “A pro
posed budget as to required and law
ful debt service as well as pertaining
to school requirements is not present
ed herewith due to confusion of rec
ords in the county departments; in
vestigations will be made as records
are available to the public for ins
tion. and we request that no action
be taken in the levying of taxes and
the fixing of tax rates until all reports
and records prescribed by law shall
have been properly filed and opened
to the public, so that the full discharge
faithfully of all public officials’ duties
may be proved.”
The tWo budgets brought forth
much discussion as they were com
pared Item by Item. Full agreement
was reached by the committee and
commissioners on many items, but no
final commitments was made by the
commissioners upon the proposed bud
get, although same was unanimously :
endorsed as to each item and as a
whole by members of the special com
hilttee.
Motion was made by Commissioner
T. S. Dean and unanimously carried
for acceptance by the board of com
missioners for consideration. It is ex- >
pected that another joint meeting will!
